Question from a reader:
I haven’t heard the music of an artist named tuki., but I’ve seen posts about him often trending on X. It seems like he has a strong desire for approval, and I wonder how he could make such posts without anticipating backlash. Is this a case of controversy marketing?
Thinking about tuki.’s Controversy
Recently, I’ve been hearing
a lot about the artist tuki. being involved in controversy on X. Honestly, I haven’t listened to his music, but observing the nature of the backlash, it’s clear that he has a strong desire for approval. It makes me curious why he would make such posts without considering the potential for backlash.
Youth and Innocence
One opinion is that he might be acting without deep thought simply because he is still young. During my university days, I also said and did outrageous things without worrying about how others would react. For example, when I went out for yakiniku with friends, I ordered an excessive amount of kalbi and ended up unable to finish it. Although I was aware of the gazes from those around me, I succumbed to my desires.
Influence from Adults
However, there are also indications that there are adults behind him. If this is indeed a case of controversy marketing, it complicates my feelings. While it’s important for young artists to express their opinions, I wonder how he feels if his actions are merely for the sake of attracting attention. Sometimes, in our effort to meet the expectations of those around us, we sacrifice our own well-being.
Reasons for Controversy
I thought about the kinds of posts that strongly convey a desire for approval. For instance, content that is overly self-assertive or uses language that attacks others is likely to provoke backlash. I also try to be mindful of my statements on social media. While expressing my opinions is important, it should never come at the expense of harming others.
Reflecting on My Own Experiences
I have had experiences similar to controversy myself. During university club activities, there were times when opinions diverged. In those moments, I became overly emotional and almost jeopardized my relationships with my peers. Ultimately, we resolved the issue through calm discussion, but I still reflect on that time. Interacting with others can be challenging, but it’s essential not to lose sight of oneself. Finally, I encourage readers to share their own experiences and thoughts on controversy in the comments. When have you felt a desire for approval, and how did it impact you? I’d love for us to explore this together.
